The Follmer group has designed a soft jamming brake and artificial muscle (SJBAM) actuator for improved muscle static and dynamic response along with expanded brake bandwidth.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a method for instructing the steering system of an autonomous vehicle to perform a lateral steering action, e.g., when changing lanes or repositioning within a lane.
Researchers at Stanford have advanced the concept of an "Anticipatory Control Interface" that informs the driver of a partially automated vehicle of its lateral trajectory plan.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a process for modifying metal powder stock to enable printing of high reflectivity metals using moderate laser powers (200-400 W) in commercially available printing systems (200-400W).
Researchers at Stanford have developed a distributed digital "black box" audit trail design for connected and automated vehicle data and software assurance.
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new coating design which makes lithium metal batteries stable and promising for further development.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-performance, ultrafast, thermoresponsive polymer that can act as a circuit breaker to prevent fires in next-generation high-energy-density batteries by rapidly and reversibly turning off when overheated.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have designed a real-time screening device system for predicting risk of concussion resulting from head impacts.
Stanford researchers at the Salisbury Robotics Lab have prototyped a wearable, articulated robotic device with patented four-state brake modules that can be attached to a person at the hip or other location to augment human task productivity.
Stanford researchers at the Fan Lab have proposed a comprehensive approach for controlling the heating and cooling of outdoor coatings, such as paint on automobiles or buildings, without affecting its exterior color.
Stanford researchers have designed and successfully tested two prototype dynamic surface grasping devices. These devices use opposed pairs of gecko-inspired directional adhesives to attach to any smooth surface.
Stanford researchers have patented a hardware and software system designed for automated assisted steering that combines automated and human vehicle control within driving lanes.
